Yup! I Love You, Sir!
The Part 51
The next day, on Sunday morning, Olivia was ready to wear her sportswear, and was covered with a jacket.
Only his shoes remained unused, and as usual, Louis was waiting outside Olivia's apartment building, to go for a workout, jogging together in the city park.
"Yes ... Waita minute!" olivia said, telling Louis by phone, if it's any time soon, Olivia must be out of her room.
In a hurry, Olivia tied her shoelaces, put her phone in her jacket pocket, before moving out of the room, and rushed to meet Louis.
"To the city park as usual, right?! There were friends of mine waiting there" Louis said, as Olivia and herself had just gotten into his car.
"Yes," said Olivia, briefly.
Louis then starts to drive his car on the highway, while Olivia looks out, from the window next to him.
Not too far from the apartment building where Olivia lives, among a row of tall buildings lined up there, Olivia looked at the clinic where Dave worked.
During this time, the clinic was specifically for oral and dental health, although the distance was close to where she lived, but Olivia never took care of her teeth there.
Olivia always went to the public hospital, which was not far from the office building where Olivia worked.
That's why, Olivia has difficulty making an appointment with the dentist, during the weekend break.
Because usually, on such holidays, the waiting list will definitely be filled with patients, who have the same goals as Olivia.
Only on working days alone, Olivia could easily register herself, for her dental checkup.
Thus, Olivia chose to make an appointment with a dentist at a public hospital, because of the distance that was not far from the office.
In order to do so, Olivia can get out of the office for a while, even though she is still at work, and go to the hospital, to take care of her teeth.
And it just so happened, before long, Olivia had to undergo treatment for her teeth, which she usually does regularly, with time.
If it was like now, when Olivia already had acquaintances who worked at the clinic, which was near her apartment, it would probably be a profitable opportunity for Olivia.
Because later, Olivia may be able to contact, and ask for help from Dave, in order to put Olivia's name on the patient waiting list, on holidays.
And if Dave can help her, in order to get an appointment on a work holiday, then Olivia no longer needs to steal time at the office, just to check the condition of her teeth, and take care of her.
"What are you thinking?" louis asked, all of a sudden, and made Olivia flinch slightly.
"Clinic ... The dental clinic that was near my apartment" replied Olivia.
"What's wrong with the clinic? Don't you usually go to the hospital?" asked Louis, who sounded confused.
"Yesterday, I met Claire near the laundry. Claire's with Dave, her friend. Which turned out to be a dentist, and worked at a clinic near my apartment....
... I was given a business card by Dave. So, maybe I can make an appointment on the weekend. In order for later, I don't need permission to leave the office anymore" Olivia replied, explaining.
Louis nodded his head, as if he understood Olivia's intentions.
And after that, until Louis and Olivia had arrived at the city park, there was nothing else they were talking about.
In fact, given that time, Louis seemed to still want to talk about Claire, to Olivia.
But at this time, Louis seems unwilling to continue discussing, about Olivia's meeting with Claire.
And Olivia is also not interested, to start a discussion about a personal relationship, between Claire and Louis.
In fact, Olivia would rather, if they were just as silent as they are today.

Olivia, along with Louis, had already run two laps on the jogging track, when some of Louis' friends, blocked their steps both.
However, they did not stop running, and continued to run in groups.
In the third round, Olivia already felt unable to anymore, if she had to keep running, and finally could only walk casually.
Until Olivia felt that her exercise that day was enough, and she was able to rest, by sitting scattered on the grass in the park.
Meanwhile, Louis and his friends continued to run, until a few extra rounds, before they also rested, and sat down on the grass, with Olivia.
Olivia recognized almost all of the faces of Louis' friends, who were sitting with him today, almost all of whom were men.
That's why, Olivia can join in talking with friends from Louis, who discuss about one of them, who will hold a wedding, in the near future.
In the conversation, it was that one of Louis's friends who was to be married, proposed to his girlfriend, who had been his friend for a long time, to be his wife.
Maybe it was because of that discussion, so suddenly, one of Louis' friends, said to Olivia.
"Olivia! ... Do you have a lover?"
"Not yet" replied Olivia.
"Then, why don't you just date Louis? You've been friends for a long time, haven't you? It's possible, you two can also get married," said one of Louis' friends.
The words of one of Louis' friends, sound as if he was about to betroth Olivia and Louis, in order to become lovers.
And at that very moment, it seemed that Louis wanted to respond to the words of his friend, but Louis immediately put it down, because Olivia could not help herself anymore, until she finally laughed there first.
"Pffhtt ...! You must be kidding! ... No. gabe. I'd rather, if we were just friends, like we are today" Olivia said.
At once, both Louis and his other friends seemed to be silent, and looked at each other.
Olivia then said,
"She—friend louis—may be lucky, to be able to marry his old friend. But not necessarily, if Louis and I tried it, then could experience the same thing....
... Imagine if we failed. Let alone getting married, our friendship, which has been established for a long time and well, it might even be cut off."
"Truly say! They don't think long." One of Louis's other friends responded to Olivia's words.
"Also, even though it has been friends for a very long time, it still cannot be used as a guarantee, that we can know, how the true nature of our friend is," continued Louis' friend, who is not a friend, which justifies Olivia's words.
After one of Louis's friends said so, then all of Louis' other friends seemed to agree to Olivia's way of thinking.
Not long after, their conversation there, then changed direction, and began to discuss their respective work.
And on the sidelines of their conversation, Louis then whispered to Olivia.
"Do you really mean what you said?" ask Louis.
Confusion, making Olivia only silent for a moment, because of Louis's question.
"Which word am I?" Olivia asked back.
"About us, you think, it's best to just stay friends" Louis replied.
"You still think about it? We've changed the subject since, but you're still thinking about it?" ask Olivia, make sure.
Louis did not answer Olivia immediately, and was silent.
"Yes ... I really mean it. You also certainly do not want, if the situation between us later becomes awkward, right?" olivia.
For a while Olivia waited, only then did Louis appear to nod his head, as if he agreed with Olivia's opinion.
"That's great!" said Olivia, then again pay attention to the conversation of friends Louis, about their work there.
Occasionally Olivia laughed with Louis' other friends, while discussing the silliness that occurred in their respective work environments.
But Louis, apparently not too excited, to take part in the conversation there.
Until finally, Louis invites Olivia to go home first, leaving his other friends, who still look fun talking.

"What's wrong with you?" olivia asked, seeing the listless Louis, when Louis and himself had gotten into Louis's car.
"Ugh ...? There's nothing. I'm just exhausted" said Louis, then started the engine, then started to speed it up, and drove down the highway.
"Ooh...!" Olivia tells Louis that she is exhausted. Given Louis and his friends earlier, who jogged with more number of rounds, than usual.
"Then, after we return, you rest. We don't need to go for a walk anymore. Because I also have to get ready, to go out of town later in the afternoon," said Olivia.
"Out of town? Why sudden? You didn't tell me anything before." Louis looked confused and astonished.
